Information for New Users
The following items are readily available on the laptops provisioned by IT @ NCMM:
- Wi-Fi
- Printing
You can set these up by just entering your username and password.
When you set up the Eduroam Wi-Fi, the username should include @uio.no. Eduroam on your smart phone can be setup with the aid of the app geteduroam.
You can print to NCMM printers from your computer or smart phone. On your smart phone, please use EveryonePrint (or SAFEQ Cloud) to print to an NCMM printer. To access an NCMM printer, use your Forksningsparken / NCMM access card. You can also use mobilprint.uio.no for printing. You can also manage your printing queues at utskrift.uio.no.
General services
- Use passord.uio.no when you have issues with your password, or to change your password.
- Connect to view.uio.no via VMWare Horizon or browser for access to some UiO virtual machines.
- utskrift.uio.no for printing management.
- mobilprint.uio.no for mobile printing management.
- mail.uio.no for e-mail via webrowser.
These are shared directories setup on the servers Pythagoras or Biotin4.
Computational resources
Biotin4 and Fox on Educloud.

Installing Linux from UiO on Dell Laptops
The BIOS must be configured in a specific way to PXE boot Linux from UiO.
When accessing file shares via CIFS/SMB from outside of NCMM, we recommend tunneling the connection through SSH. First make sure that you can access UiO hosts from at home, for this, see also Ssh_at_ncmm. Then tunnel your connection through a Linux machine at UiO, for example biotin4:
-
ssh -L 10139:localhost:139 USERNAME@biotin4.hpc.uio.no
- connect to
smb://localhost:10139
(for example, in macOS via "Connect to Server"), enter your login and password and select the correct network share
Instead of port 10139 you can use any other port in the range of 1024-65535.
Userful Linux commands
Local home directory
To set a custom home directory for a user, when you add a user, use the following command:
sss_override user-add USERNAME --home=/PATH/TO/HOME
